I have a matrix that is [365,4] and I need to find the average of each column without the use of commands like mean or size. With the use of a for loop.

Beware! length is a dangerous command/function that may not return what you intend -- it is defined as max(size(x)) and so returns either the number of elements in a row or column of any 2D array -- which would depend upon the array configuration. The 4x3 or 3x4 array will both return 4...

Hi Cappi,
I understand that you wanted to calculate the average of columns of a matrix without the usage of in-built commands.
Please find the following code snippet to do the same.
A = [1 2 3;4 5 6;7 8 9;10 11 12] %Consider the matrix for reference
nRows = height(A);
nColumns = width(A);
avg = zeros(1,nColumns);
for i = 1:width(A)
C = A(:,i);
sum = 0;
for j = 1:nRows
sum = sum + C(j);
end
avg(i) = sum/nRows;
end
disp(avg)
